Overview
The 82 bathing boxes on Brighton Beach date back to the Victorian era and are one of Melbourne's most iconic sights. Lined up along the sandy shore, each is individually painted in bright, unique colors, making them one of Melbourne's top photo spots. Privately owned and valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars each, they can only be admired from the outside. On a clear day the Melbourne skyline forms a stunning backdrop.
